A different kind of nose candy

For years, your girlfriend has been going to Yoga class on Tuesday nights. No problem, right? A bunch of people laying around in sweatpants, stretching, listening to multi-kulti CDs, going "oooohhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm" and then talking about "energy" -- what could possibly be more wholesome? Then again, have you ever asked her for more specific details? Do you really know all that yoga can entail?

Listener Zaphod brings us just one horrific possibility. Click here to view the .WMV movie file.

UPDATE: A very kind friend gave me a neti pot which I tried at home. Two observations -- 1. The first time I tried it, I very much felt as though I were about to drown while standing up in my bathroom. Also, it's hard to master the proper posture to prevent the water from running out the other nostril and freefalling into the sink. (Mine just ran down my neck and got my shirt all wet.) 2. The next time I tried it, I again felt like I was drowing. But this time, I took note of the amazing quantity of water that my head seems to be able to house before it needs to find its way out again. Also, I can now say with some authority that it is ill-advised to cough when your skull is full of water.
